Section 1 — Introduction

Pulse Oximetry The monitor uses Digital Oximetry (DOX) technology to measure
Measurement (SpO2) blood oxygen saturation (SpO2).

Definition Hemoglobin exists in the blood in several forms:


• Oxygenated (Oxyhemoglobin)
• Reduced (Deoxyhemoglobin)
• Dyshemoglobins (carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin.)

In the monitor, SpO2 (pulse arterial oxygen saturation) is the ratio of


oxygenated hemoglobin to the sum of oxygenated hemoglobin plus
hemoglobin which is available for binding to oxygen, as expressed in
the following formula:
oxyhem oglobin
per ce nt oxygen sa tura tion = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ × 100
oxyhem oglobin + de oxyhem oglobin

Dyshemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin,


are not directly measured and therefore are not factored into the
measurement.

DOX™ Digital Oximetry The monitor does not use analog circuitry for signal processing.
Digital signal processing in the microprocessor results in lower noise
from circuitry components, resulting in a cleaner signal and better
performance under low perfusion conditions. There is also improved
rejection of noise from the patient and environment, due to the
availability of the “true,” unfiltered sensor signal for digital signal
processing.

Method The digital pulse oximeter measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate
using the principles of spectrophotometry and plethysmography. The
sensor is completely non-invasive, and there is no heat source that
could burn the patient.

The pulse oximeter sensor contains two types of LEDs. Each type
emits a specific wavelength of light. Since oxygenated hemoglobin
and deoxygenated hemoglobin absorb light selectively and
predictably, the amounts of these two compounds can be determined
by measuring the intensity of each wavelength that passes through
the measuring site.

Page 1-2 nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Criticare Systems, Inc.
Section 1 — Introduction

The light from the LEDs shines into a pulsating vascular bed. A
photodetector located opposite or alongside the LEDs measures the
intensity of each wavelength transmitted through the monitoring site.
The light intensity is converted to an electrical signal, which is input to
the monitor. The effects of skin pigmentation, venous blood, and
other tissue constituents are eliminated by separating out the
pulsating absorption data.

SpO2 is calculated with every pulse and averaged with the results
from previous pulses to arrive at the current numeric display value.
The display is updated at least once per second with the numeric
values that were calculated during the intervening period.

The plethysmographic pulse wave is not auto-gained. The amplitude


display of the plethysmographic pulse wave is proportional to the
pulse volume changes occurring in the tissue illuminated by the SpO2
sensor.

SpO2 Clinical Testing All Criticare oximeters (DOX™ compatible) have SpO2 calibration
and Accuracy tables which were originally generated by monitoring desaturated
human patients or volunteers and matching their displayed SpO2
value to the value determined by sampling arterial blood and
measuring functional SaO2 with a clinical laboratory grade multi
wavelength optical oximeter (i.e. CO-oximeter). The final SpO2
calibration curve was then generated based upon numerous patients'
data over the range of 40 to 99% SaO2. All accepted data were taken
from patients with dyshemoglobin (i.e., carboxyhemoglobin,
methemoglobin) concentrations near zero.

This oximeter is a two-wavelength device, which is calibrated to


measure functional SpO2 only when dyshemoglobin concentrations
are near zero. The accuracy specifications of this device will not be
met with high concentrations of dyshemoglobins. Significant
concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin results in a higher displayed
SpO2 value than is actually present in the patient.

SpO2 clinical accuracy validation to CO-oximeter SaO2 readings was


performed for this sensor using a DOX-compatible monitor.

The personal demographics of the study participants for the SpO2


clinical accuracy validation include a mix of adult males and females
from 18–45 years of age. All were healthy during the course of the
study. Physical characteristics and skin tone were by chance with a
mix from slight to stout and light to dark.

Criticare Systems, Inc. nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Page 1-3
Section 1 — Introduction

Heart Rate The heart rate is determined primarily from the ECG waveform data.
A beat detection algorithm is used to identify QRS beats.

The monitor has a user selectable smart heart rate function. It


automatically uses alternate sources to determine heart rate, if the
primary source becomes unmeasurable. The plethysmograph (SpO2
waveform) is used if the ECG heart rate is unavailable. In the
absence of SpO2 and ECG data, the NIBP oscillometric data is the
final default source for a heart rate measurement.

Response times for the ECG heart rate meter change from 80 BPM to
40 BPM and from 80 BPM to 120 BPM is less than or equal to 10
seconds. The alarm for tachycardia is less than or equal to 10
seconds per EC-13.

The pulse rate accuracy for SpO2 is the root-mean-square (rms)


difference between paired pulse rate data recorded with the pulse
oximeter and a reference method.

NOTE: The accuracy of the heart rate depends upon the source. The
range of the measurable NIBP based heart rate does not extend as
far as the range available in other modules used by the smart heart
rate feature.

NOTE: The NIBP based heart rate is not a continuous measurement


and is only current during an NIBP measurement.

ECG Measurement The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the changing potential
generated by electrical activity of the heart.

Method To obtain an overall view of the heart's electrical activity, three or five
electrodes attached to lead wires detect electrical impulses from the
patient's heart to the skin. The monitor calculates the difference in
electrical force between two electrode sites. Electrode polarity
(positive, negative, or ground) depends on the cable receptacle the
lead wire is attached to and the lead selected on the monitor screen.

The ECG design uses the standard (conventional bipolar limb leads)
leads I, II, III using 3-lead or 5-lead cable accessory. With the 5-Lead
cable accessory, leads aVR, aVL, aVF, and V lead may also be
viewed.

The monitor has user selectable automatic lead switching capability


when using the 5-lead settings. If a lead becomes detached or is
unmeasurable, the monitor can automatically display an alternate
lead view using the remaining leads.

Page 1-4 nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Criticare Systems, Inc.
Section 1 — Introduction

Stability of Accuracy The monitor is equipped with pacemaker detection and user
selectable pacer rejection. There are no known safety hazards due to
the operation of a cardiac pacemaker or other electrical stimulators
when used with this vital signs monitor.

The accuracy of the monitor is not affected by arrhythmia or other


physiological conditions where the electrocardiogram amplitude and
heart rate are within the detectable limits specified for the monitor.
The monitor has user selectable signal filtering in the 60 Hz and
50 Hz bands that reduce electrical interference from the AC (mains)
power sources. User selectable filters are also available.

The accuracy of the ECG analog output bandwidth is equal to the


frequency response specified in the ECG specifications. The variable
gain control is x200, x400, or x800 (according to the ECG Sensitivity
setting). The propagation delay is 1000 milliseconds.

The accuracy of the synchronizing pulse amplitude is equal to 500


times that of leadview II. The pulse shape and duration match those
of leadview II. The output impedance is 1000 ohms and propagation
delay is less than 6.6 milliseconds.

Pacemaker Pulse Rejection With the pacemaker detector turned ON in the 8100E(P) Series, the
system detects and rejects pacemaker pulses ranging from ±2 to
±700 mV amplitude and 0.1 to 2.0 ms duration. Heart rates properly
display over this range of pacemaker operation. Pacer pulse markers
are present if pace detect is on and appear in the ECG analog output
as narrow positive spikes at the point of pace detection.

! CAUTION !
• Ambient noise sources may induce artifactual triggers of the
pacemaker pulse detector and display.

Respiration Respiration is measured via the ECG electrodes. The ECG uses the
impedance measurement based off of lead II.

When determining respiration from the ECG, the monitor measures


patient respiration by impedance pneumography. As the patient's
chest changes size and shape during inspiration and expiration, the
resistance between two chest (or abdomen) ECG electrodes
changes. Respiration rate is calculated from this change in
resistance.

The user may select ECG which uses the impedance measurement
based off the lead I or the CO2 respiration that is based off the
capnogram. There is also a selectable smart respiration function that
can automatically switch sources, if there is an interruption of
waveform data. The CO2 data is the primary source for the smart
respiration function and it defaults to the CO2 source if it is available.

Criticare Systems, Inc. nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Page 1-5
Section 1 — Introduction

Non-Invasive Blood The monitor uses ComfortCuff technology to determine non-invasive


Pressure (NIBP) blood pressure by means of oscillometry. The oscillometric method
detects volume displacements within the artery and senses pressure
variations within the blood pressure cuff during inflation. The monitor
uses cuffs ranging in size from neonate cuffs to thigh cuffs.

Comfort Cuff™ ComfortCuff technology measures NIBP while the cuff inflates.
Technology Consequently, a measurement is obtained more quickly and with less
discomfort than with monitors, which measure NIBP during cuff
deflation.

Description of NIBP The NIBP cuff begins to inflate at the beginning of the NIBP
Measurement measurement cycle. As the cuff pressure approaches the diastolic
pressure of the patient, the cuff pressure waveform begins to indicate
the pulse waveform. The cuff pressure at this point is equal to the
patient's diastolic pressure, which is stored by the monitor.

As cuff pressure continues to increase, the pulse waveform (as


measured from BP cuff pressure fluctuation) becomes stronger,
reaching its maximum at the patient's mean arterial pressure (i.e.,
when cuff pressure = mean BP). The monitor stores this value as
mean pressure.
As cuff pressure increases further, it approaches the patient's systolic
pressure, and the cuffs pulse waveform decreases in amplitude. The
cuff pulse waveform disappears at the point where cuff pressure is
equal to the patient's systolic pressure.
When the monitor determines that the cuff waveform has decreased
to zero amplitude, it stores the cuff pressure value as the systolic
pressure, and releases the pressure from the cuff. This typically
occurs at about 10 mmHg over the patient's systolic pressure. The
cuff then rapidly deflates.

NIBP Clinical Testing This device was clinically tested per the requirements of EN 1060 and
and Accuracy AAMI SP-10. The NIBP module as installed in the 8100E Series
monitor has been tested to meet the performance specifications
listed in this manual.

Cuff Inflation and The maximum cuff inflation rate is 15 mmHg/sec. The software limits
Pressure Protection inflation to 300 mmHg adult, 300 mmHg pediatric, or 150 neonate. A
secondary circuit limits maximum possible cuff pressure to 330
mmHg in adult/pediatric mode and 165 mmHg in neonatal mode. Cuff
pressure is allowed to remain above 30 mmHg for a maximum of two
minutes.

The monitor automatically deflates the cuff if the time limit is violated.
The monitor contains hardware protection for overpressure
conditions, pressure transducer failures, or microprocessor and pump
control circuit failures.

Section 1 — Introduction

Capnography The 8100E Series monitor uses the sidestream method of measuring
(Measurement of CO2) CO2. Gas is aspirated through a nasal cannula or a ventilation circuit
adapter. The gas sample enters from a sampling tube into a water
trap, which removes water vapor and particulate matter from the gas
sample. The gas then enters the CO2 detector where it is analyzed.

The monitor measures CO2 concentrations and displays them in a


continuous waveform. The monitor also detects end-tidal and fraction
Inspired CO2 levels, displaying them numerically. End-tidal CO2
(ETCO2) is defined as the maximum CO2 concentration at the end of
expiration. The monitor measures and displays this numerical value
of CO2 concentration. The ETCO2 value is updated continuously with
each breath cycle. The amount of CO2 in the gas mixture inhaled in
by the patient is the fractional Inspired CO2 (FICO2).

Method of Measurement The monitor measures CO2 using the principles of infrared
absorption spectrometry. An unknown concentration of gas (CO2) is
calculated by comparing its absorption of infrared light to that of a
known standard. The absorption of light is directly related to the
concentration of gas. As infrared light passes through the sample
gas chamber, the light transmitted is converted to a voltage signal.
The monitor converts the voltage to CO2 concentration and
expresses it as mmHg, percent (%), kPa (user selectable), or Torr.

Infrared analysis of the gas samples is done using Beer’s Law.

The formula for Beer’s Law:

I = I0 e – ε (λ ) cd
I Infrared value of measured sample.

I0 Infrared value of light source.

e Exponential function.

ε( λ) Extinction coefficient.

c Concentration of the gas sample

d Distance measured through the sample

The Beer’s Law calculation is performed by the monitor’s software.

Section 1 — Introduction

Conditions of Use The 8100E Series monitor has been calculated with dry NIST-
traceable calibration gases at room temperature and pressure
(~ 21C, 740mmHg). Given the small effect of water vapor upon the
CO2 measurement and the unit’s built-in temperature and pressure
measurements and compensations, this monitor’s method of gas
analysis is best described as ATPS (Ambient Temperature and
Pressure, Saturated; 21C 750mmHg, 100% Humidity Saturated).

The monitor is suitable for sustained pressure (breathing circuit)


monitoring environments and has been tested per clause 51.101
(Measurement Accuracy) of EN 21647: 2004.

Stability of Accuracy The monitor has an internal barometer and thermistor that allow
compensation for changes over a range of temperature and
atmospheric pressures. The monitor complies with EN 21647
standards for cyclical pressure and testing found negligible drift of
accuracy. The module as installed in the 8100E Series monitor has
been clinically tested for performance with a variety of patients.

N2O Compensation The monitor has a manual N2O compensation feature for a fixed N2O
value is 60%. The user may select N2O compensation when 40-80%
N2O is in use.

Temperature Body temperature is measured by the monitor using a thermistor


Measurement (temperature sensing elements in the temperature probe). The
thermistor can sense change in body temperature by changing
electrical resistance.
• Unusual, fast artificial variations in temperature readings may
occur with accompanying applications of an electrocautery
system.
• Electrical leakage current of the cable when used with the
monitor and sensor comply with IEC 601-1/EN 60601-1

The monitor is compatible with any YSI-400 or YSI-700 series


temperature probe.

Section 1 — Introduction

Leakage Current The monitor complies with leakage current limits required by medical
safety standards for patient-connected devices. A hazard caused by
the summation of leakage currents is possible, when several pieces
of equipment are interconnected.

Connecting any external equipment to signal input, signal output, or


other connectors forms a system and this new system must comply
with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. If in doubt, contact qualified
technician or local representative.

Voltage Fluctuations When operated in the line voltage range specified in this manual any
fluctuation will have a negligible effect. Very low line voltage will
cause the monitor to revert to battery power. Very high line voltage
may cause damage to the charger circuits. The monitor is designed
with circuitry that turns the unit off before spurious readings can be
caused by a low battery condition.

Equipotential Ground Health care providers and patients are subject to dangerous,
uncontrollable compensating currents for electrical equipment. These
currents are due to the potential differences between connected
equipment and touchable conducting parts as found in medical
rooms.

The safety solution to the problem is accomplished with consistent


equipotential bonding. The monitor is fitted with a connecting lead
made up with angled sockets to the equipotential bonding network in
medical rooms.

Set the Alarm Tone Warning value to OFF to allow the monitor to
suspend any audible alarm (remain silent) after a new alarm
activates. Thus you can silence alarms with a “long” push (held in for
2 seconds) on the monitor’s SILENCE key.

NOTE: As a safeguard measure, the Permanent Alarm Silence


function (Service Mode window) can override the Alarm Tone
Warning function. The Disable value of the Permanent Alarm Silence
function can prevent the ability of the Alarm Tone Warning function’s
OFF value to suspend audible alarms. In this case, pushing the
Silence button has no effect; the monitor’s full audio alarm would
continue. Set this safeguard according to your facility protocols and
according to local safety regulations for medical devices.

Section 3 — Theory of Operation
Power Module The 8100E Series patient monitor employs a universal switching
power supply for international use.

In order to monitor the status of the line power, and condition of the
battery pack, the internal power supply circuitry drives several status
lines available to the main module. The power management/
watchdog circuit provides a low battery level detection mechanism
and a hardware-based check on software operation (watchdog timer).

Main CPU and System The microprocessor circuitry handles the Main Board computational
functions and provides integrated I/O functions, including timers, I/O
pins, serial interfaces, and analog I/O.

CONM Module The CONM module contains a microprocessor and associated


circuitry for NIBP. No electrical connection is made with the patient
from the monitor for NIBP. The vital signs parameters are passed to
the main module using a serial channel.

Vital Signs Module The vital signs module is a single printed circuit board with
connectors to the Main Board, the ECG input leads, the SPO2
connector, and the temperature sensor. The vital signs module
contains a microprocessor, and associated circuitry for pulse
oximetry, temperature, ECG signals, and TTI respiration. ECG signals
can be either 3-lead single channel, or 5-lead triple channel. Patient
isolation for galvanic contact is required for the temperature and ECG
functions. Patient isolation for non-galvanic contact is required for the
pulse oximetry sensor. A CAN bus passes the vital signs parameters
to the main module.

The main module sends the vital signs module control information
and the vital signs module sends the main module waveforms and
hardware status. The communication cycle is 20 Hz for the vital signs
information from the VS module, twice a second for the status of the
VS module, and as needed for the control information from the main
module.

Speaker Driver The speaker drive circuit is a DAC controlling speaker volume and an
output pin to control frequency. A software-controlled timer generates
a square-wave signal that drives the speaker. Hence, any drive
frequency has harmonic components, and generates no “pure tones.”
Applicable standards recommend against the use of pure tones in
alarm situations to reduce the risk of an individual with a “notch”
hearing deficit missing an alarm.

Criticare Systems, Inc. nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Page 3-1
Section 3 — Theory of Operation

ECG Module The ECG module monitors from either three-lead or five-lead surface
electrode configuration, providing one or three concurrent ECG
leadviews, respectively. The ECG module processing includes heart
rate, ECG lost, pacer pulse, and leadoff detection. The main software
is able to control lead, gain/scale, and filter selection, as well as pacer
mode operation. Shielding, both on the PCB and external to it,
reduces the impact of ESU noise on signal quality and heart rate
calculation. The following issues were important in the design of the
ECG module:
• Diagnostic-quality signal bandwidth;
• reliable beat detection and heart rate calculation;
• ESU noise rejection;
• pacemaker pulse detect; and
• artifact rejection

The ECG module uses a differential amplifier to extract surface ECG


activity from a pair of electrodes. Input to the amplifier is protected
against damage from excessive voltages. Passive filtering reduces
high power RF interference from electrosurgical devices. Hardware
under software control performs filtering for monitor vs. diagnostic
modes, lead selection, lead off detection, and pacer pulse detection.
Software performs gain control, notch filtering to remove line
frequency interference, pacer artifact handling, noise detection, beat
detection, heart rate calculation, and serial (CAN bus)
communications.

Impedance Respiration The TTI respiration circuit uses a transformer to generate a low
current, high frequency stimulus through the Lead I electrodes. The
resulting voltage variations reflect impedance variations across the
thorax, which in turn reflect respiration activity (as well as other
phenomena including cardiogenic artifact and motion artifact).

The TTI respiration software performs low pass filtering, high pass
filtering, breath detection, and calculates breath rate.

Page 3-2 nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Criticare Systems, Inc.
Section 3 — Theory of Operation

Pulse Oximeter Module The pulse oximeter is based upon the principle of dual-wavelength
(SpO2) photoplethysmography. Red and infrared LEDs are alternately driven
to illuminate some (relatively well-perfused) tissue site, and a photo
detector receives either the transmitted or reflected light, resulting in
a current flow. This input signal is demultiplexed with sampling in the
monitor to separate the red and infrared components. The
wavelengths are chosen to permit discrimination of oxygenated and
deoxygenated hemoglobin, based on the difference in their
absorbance spectra.

In a “pulse” oximeter, a high-passed AC component is extracted from


each of the red and infrared signals, and digitally processed to detect
the pulsations corresponding to blood flow in the illuminated tissue.
The AC and DC components in red and infrared, measured near the
time of pulsation, are combined in a relatively simple ratiometric
formula (obtained, with many assumptions, by solving Beer’s law
equations with empirically derived coefficients) to yield a figure
proportional to SpO2. The pulse rate is also calculated from the pulse
intervals detected.

Temperature The temperature module measures probe resistance and uses an


internal data table for looking up temperature conversions.
Depending on the user’s selected settings the monitor calculates the
temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The conversion value displays
on the video screen.

Communications The monitor provides two patient-isolated external RS-232 serial data
ports (TX, RX, and ground):
• The DB-9 COM1 port is configured for compatibility with ASCII
printer applications.
• The DIN-8 COM2 port is custom-configured with one pin
reserved for analog output.

The main module drives a patient-isolated external analog output. It


provides a 0 to 1 v output capable of driving a high-level input, such
as a defibrillator or chart recorder.

Printer The Main Board powers and controls the optional printer module. The
Main Board processes error messages from the Printer Board and
displays them on the screen. The internal printer module is a Sieko
LTP1245-type mechanism.

Section 8 — Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting and Before attempting to repair a damaged monitor the technician must
Repair fully understand the functions of the monitor. The service technician
should have read and understood all the previous sections of this
manual.

You must fully repair, calibrate, and test all damaged monitors before
you use them on patients. The monitor must meet the original
operating specifications before you use it on a patient.

Always follow ESD precautions when performing any of the


procedures discussed in this section.

ComfortCuff NIBP The NIBP module consists of a pneumatic pump assembly


Module (pn 95576A003) and control circuitry located on the Main Board
(pn 91340A004).

The pneumatics assembly is mounted on the back side of the metal


chassis plate. A large diameter tube (pn 41602B001) connects to the
Quick-Connect hardware fixture and the transducer on the Main
Board. The transducer port faces out the back side of the Main Board
through a hole.

The remaining pneumatics links connect the two control valves


(pn 95596A004), the pump (pn 95576A005), and the check valve
(pn 41579B003). As the tubing ages it may lose its seal. Old tubing
can be re-seated or replaced as necessary.

When any major pneumatic component such as a pump or valve is


replaced, the NIBP module must be re-calibrated as in “NIBP
Calibration” in section 6 of this manual. The manufacturer
recommends that the monitor be returned to a CSI authorized service
facility if pump replacement is required.

The transducer SENS1 and the zero point calibration pot R92 are not
field serviceable components. Improper replacement can result in
permanent damage to the Main Board.

Criticare Systems, Inc. nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Page 8-3
Section 8 — Troubleshooting

ECG/Impedance The ECG circuitry is located on the ECG/Analog Board assembly


Respiration Module (pn 91353A003) that is attached to the metal chassis behind the main
board.

The ECG/Analog Board fits directly on to the Main Board through a


socketed 10-pin connection on the left side of the board assembly.
There is also a shielded cable assembly that extends from the top of
the board to the external ECG port. Check each of these connection
points if the monitor fails to produce an accurate ECG waveform.

The ECG/Analog Board has a foil shield to reduce noise from other
portions of the monitor. Noise can be introduced by worn cable
assemblies and degraded power supplies. Test the analog ECG
waveform signal and the input power where they enter the ECG/
Analog Board for interference noise.

There is a replacable 2-amp fuse (pn 80004B003) at location F1 on


the ECG/Analog Board. The fuse provides protection in the power
circuit leading from the P4 connection to the Main Board. Surface
mount components on the ECG/Analog Board are not recommended
for field repair and replacement.

You can replace the ECG/Analog Board assembly as a serviceable


component. Replacement ECG/Analog Board assemblies,
(pn 91353A003) are pre-tested, software loaded, and calibrated. The
monitor requires complete safety testing after reassembly.

NOTE: Always check line frequency, filter settings and the ECG lead
cables as part of any ECG trouble shooting. Always use the
recommended simulators for performance testing.

Board Settings and Module There are three pots under the shielding at locations R112, R110,
Software and R108. They are the baseline adjustments for ECG I, EGG II, and
ECG V respectively. These are factory set; you should not adjust
them. Set the S1 switches (off) in the open position to allow
communication with the DOX module. See “ECG Verification” in
Section 5.

The ECG/Analog Board contains its own on-board software that is


factory loaded. The program is stored in non-volatile memory on the
ECG/Analog Board. Repair or improper handling of the ECG/Analog
Board can corrupt this software.

Respiration The respiration circuit is located on the ECG/Analog Board. There is


no separate calibration or testing for the impedance respiration.

Temperature The temperature module is located on the ECG/Analog Board. There


are no on-board settings or service calibrations. The temperature
module is auto-calibrating upon start-up.

Page 8-4 nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Criticare Systems, Inc.
Section 8 — Troubleshooting

DOX SpO2 Module The DOX SpO2 module consists of a separate board that is attached
above the ECG/Analog Board. There is a communication connection
for a ribbon cable (pn 90866A001) at the bottom edge of the ECG/
Analog Board. The ribbon cable extends to the SpO2 Board. There is
also a short cable to the ECG/Analog Board (pn 90866A002).

The plethysmograph input signal enters the SpO2 Board through a


shielded cable that runs between the boards and metal chassis to the
opposite side of the monitor.

The DOX SpO2 module is composed of digital components that are


not effected by noise. There is also no signal degradation or loss of
calibration due to analog components. Interference or noisy signal
can be due to a worn cable assembly or DB-9 connector. Replace the
connector and cable assembly if necessary.

Always check the sensor when intermittent problems are reported.


Stretched or otherwise damaged sensor cables must be replaced.

NOTE: The line frequency setting of the monitor must be set correctly
for optimal SpO2 monitoring.

Main Board The Main Board (pn 91340A004) contains the primary processors,
storage memory, NIBP circuitry, communication interfaces, audio
driver, vital signs module connections, power regulation, battery
charge circuits, video generation, and keypad inputs (User I/O).

The Main Board has an adjustable pot R92 that you set during NIBP
calibration. There are two CPUs on the Main Board that you must
program from a CSI Service Download Station. The programmable
settings remain in non-volatile memory. Repair or improper handling
of the Main Board can corrupt this software.

There is one (1) replacable 3-amp fuse (pn 82004B001) for the
battery input at PS1. There is one (1) replaceable 4A fuse
(pn 82004B010) for the power supply module at PS2 (F4 protects the
supply output).

If you replace the Main Board you are required to cal-check the NIBP
module. NIBP pneumatics assemblies and Main Boards may not be
changed unless re-calibrated.

Except for fuses, the Main Board is not a field-repairable component.


Replacement Main Boards are pre-tested, programmed, and
calibrated.

Criticare Systems, Inc. nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Page 8-5
Section 8 — Troubleshooting

Power Module The power module (pn 95710A002) consists of the battery
compartment bulkhead and chassis, the fan, cable assemblies, and
the Power Supply Board. The Power Supply Board (AC to DC
converter) is not a field-repairable component. If the board is
damaged or fails test replace the entire assembly.

! DANGER !
• High Voltage! Repairing and testing the power supply requires
working with dangerous voltages. The power supply module
should only be serviced by experienced electrical repair
technicians.

Fuse Replacement The main fuses (pn 82013B002) for the power module is located in an
external compartment above the AC power cord connection. Replace
only with:
• 1A/110/230 volt Time-Lag fuses (pn82013B002).

Check the monitor ID label to determine which voltage the unit uses.

You do not have to open the monitor case to change the main power
fuses. See “Fuse Removal/Replacement” in Section 5.

! WARNING !

• Shock hazard! Substitution of fuses or jumping the fuse


contacts can endanger the patient and damage the monitor.

AC Power Components The power entry module (pn 80243B002), when replaced, must
remain electrically isolated between the chassis and power entry
module ground. The AC power entry module requires a fuse drawer
(pn80130B001).

Replace broken, cracked, or loose AC receptacles. Replace the


receptacle if the external pins are bent or broken. Do not attempt to
remove or modify the ground pin!

Check the cables and chokes for heat damage before power module
replacement. Remove the assembly from the housing and inspect the
back side of the board for scorching or damaged solder connections.
Replace the entire assembly if there are any signs of high current
damage.

Theory of Operations

Capnometer Module (CO2) The capnometer contains the circuitry for monitoring the sidestream
CO2 level by actively sampling from the patient’s airway. It contains
provisions for interfacing with galvanic oxygen monitoring option sub-
modules. No electrical connection is made with the patient from the
monitor for capnometry. The CONM module controls the capnometer.

The CO2 Board contains an assembly known as a “bench.” This


bench contains the optics, IR source, detector, sample cell, and
optical filters. The purpose of this bench is to convert CO2 levels in a
gas sample to electrical signals.

The bench assembly utilizes the principle of infrared absorption


spectrometry to measure to the amount of CO2 in patients breath.
Infrared absorption spectrometry is widely used in gas analysis.
Using a phenomenon explained in “Beers Law,” CO2 gas absorbs
certain wavelengths of infrared energy with the amount depending on
the amount of CO2 gas. A detector, outfitted with an infrared
bandpass filter, only allows a certain wavelength of infrared energy
that the CO2 gas absorbs. As the CO2 concentrations in the sampled
air passes through the sample cell, the detector senses the infrared
energy changes and converts them to an electrical signal. This
electrical signal is then amplified and conditioned and sent to a
microprocessor for processing and then sent to a display.

The CO2 Board also uses a reference channel. The purpose of this
reference channel is to “cancel” the effects of IR source changes,
sample cell contamination, temperature, etc. The only difference from
the CO2 channel is that the detector is outfitted with an optical filter
that is tuned to a band in the infrared spectrum that is transparent to
CO2 and other gases typically found in the medical industry. The
signal from the reference channel is processed similarly to that of the
CO2 measurement channel.

The CO2 and reference detectors work by an effect known as


“pyroelectric.” Pyroelectric effect works by changing energy levels,
either increasing or decreasing, that are imposed on a sensing
element. The detector is outfitted with an optical bandpass filter that
passes only a narrow band of a determined wavelength of infrared
energy. The infrared source is modulated at 15 hertz (Hz) to provide
varying energy for the detector and amplifier circuits.

Correction for temperature and pressure effects on the CO2 sample is


implemented to maintain accuracy over a wide temperature and
atmospheric pressure range.

Preventative
Maintenance

Maintenance Schedule Perform these maintenance tasks in addition to those listed in the
Maintenance Schedule in Section 5.

EVERY PATIENT
• Change the gas sampling device and sampling line.

EVERY WEEK
• Change the water trap (or as needed).

EVERY 3 MONTHS
• Clean the exterior of the unit (or as needed).

EVERY YEAR
• Verify the CO2 auto-calibration. Calibrate if necessary.
• Check the CO2 absorber. Change if necessary.
• Check the gas flow rate. Adjust if necessary.

CO2 Absorber Verification The granules in the CO2 absorber are normally white, indicating a
good absorber. If the granules remain violet or blue, the absorber is
spent and needs to be replaced.

NOTE: The absorber can change color during use, but should always
return to its original white color when not in use.

Verifying the state of the CO2 absorber requires removing the


external CO2 module from the monitor. See “Check/Replace the CO2
Absorber” located under “Disassembly” later in this appendix for
instructions on removing the external CO2 module from the monitor.

1. Connect a flow meter to the end of the sample line and measure
the flow. The flow should be 200 ml/min ±10% (20.0 ml/min).
2. Disconnect the flow meter from the sample line.

OCCLUSION TEST
1. Connect a vacuum gauge to the sample line. There should be
more than 12.5 inches of mercury of vacuum.
2. Verify that CO2: OCCLUSION appears on the monitor and that
the pump turns on.
3. Disconnect the vacuum gauge from the sample line.

Criticare Systems, Inc. nGenuity™ 8100E Series Service Manual Page A-5
Appendix A — CO2 Service

EXHAUST TEST
1. Place the flow meter on the Exhaust Port and measure the flow.
The flow must be greater than 250 ml/min.
2. Remove the flow meter.

CO2 VERIFICATION
1. Check that the CO2 measurement is displayed in PERCENT. If
